Absolute privilege as always to hear @FrRichardJB Farmer Richard inspire the kids (& adults) in the classroom! 🙌🏻 The conversations, thinking, motivation & empathy of 8-9 yr olds makes me excited for the future 💫

So any way, I wrote a book- lessons from #Timor Leste. A journey in social change making. @dirrumfestival all set to go.

I have worked with @BruceFerrington for 8 years and have been waiting for this PL! Everything and more than I expected. Awesome! #inquirymaths #pyp #Radford

@FrRichardJB We read this news article as a class today...my Year 6 students were in dismay. Environment, social and economic sustainability...What are the priorities? Who can they count on?

This is symptomatic of our dominant cultural blindness: nature is a resource, knowledge is disconnected from people & place, humans are subjects to a false god called economy. This blasting is grotesque.

MCS teacher @joobrien77 is having her students use 6 word memoirs to explore the character of Layla in the book Internment by @sam_aye_ahm. Such powerful examinations of her beliefs, character traits, etc. @pernilleripp, you might be interested in seeing these!

@JulianneHay16 @MrPeteMac I used the Invisible Boy this year to explore and unpack the concept of active citizenship in our WWA UOI @MrPeteMac Looks like a great workshop!!

@MrPeteMac A few of my very favourite! Great work @MrPeteMac!

How can we foster and promote the development of the #IBPYP #LearnerProfile at #KororoitCreekPrimary through the environment, routines, assessment & reporting, learning & teaching #MTPYPH #IBEN

8 Cultural Forces that define our Classrooms. Colleagues as data collectors! @PaulSouthwell @jankeato #CoT #chaptersint @RonRitchhart

Educators must progressively withdraw from the student, shifting the responsibility for learning from the teacher, where it traditionally is, to the learner where it belongs. The hardest working person in the classroom should never be the teacher, it should always be the student.

@MrPeteMac @GogginLee Yes! Love this Pete...resonates with my experiences of reading aloud to 12 year olds!

Why reading aloud to older Std's is valuable - enjoyable and rewarding experience for T too! ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2013… @joobrien77 @GogginLee
